Hosiery Organization and Storage

Figuring out the way that works best
for you to store you hosiery can be a big help in you being able to
locate and find any pair at any time. An easy way would be to
organize them by the denier, and have all the sheer ones together.
You could also go and organize them by shade on top of this. You can
also have all your patterns together so you know exactly where to go
when you want to wear patterns.

However you decide to organize them, it
is important that you make it easy to find the pair you want to wear.
For this, I suggest rolling them up. I take the pantyhose/tights
and lay them flat, all stretched out. I have one leg of the
pantyhose laying on top of the other. I take them and fold them in
half with the toes up at the waistband now. Then I start at the
bottom rolling them up. I have found this is the easiest and most
efficient way to organize your hosiery. I also use a series of
compartment organizers in my drawer which are designed for things
like socks/hosiery and this method of rolling them up really works
well for this. I use these compartment organizers due to the fact
that I like to be able to open the drawer and see exactly what I have
without have to dig around through the drawer to find the pair I am
looking for. It keeps me from having a big messy pile inside the
drawer which would really be a pain when it comes to finding the
right pair! When I have a bunch of unopened pairs still in the
package, I organize them Alphabetically so I know exactly what I have
and can do my best figure and find what pair I might want to wear if
I am going to try one of the pairs still in package. However you
decide to store you hosiery, it is important to make sure that you do
not have any rough or sharp edges which could cause runs snags or
holes in them.
